Adam McKay

Adam McKay auditioned for an acting role for Saturday Night Live, but did not make it into the cast. However, he did get added as a writer from 1995 to 2001. After leaving SNL, McKay teamed up with Will Ferrell to write Anchorman. Since then, the duo have teamed up to take on several other projects including Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, and the website Funny or Die.

Anchorman 2 director Adam McKay has admitted that he's got two movies' worth of jokes for his sequel to Anchorman. Perhaps he will release a direct-to-DVD second film as he did with Anchorman with Stay Awake Ron Burgundy.
